A robust Hutt, Jabba bore a resemblance to a large slug, being that he was legless. A broad, slobbering smile divided his dreary countenance, and two yellow-red reptilian eyes gazed with detached amusement from his mammoth cranium. Jabba encircled himself with the criminal sect of the social order, guaranteeing his security with a shield of henchmen. He dwelt in a luxurious but entropic stronghold out on the edge of the Tatooine Dune Sea.
